Grant to help festival bloom
The Spring Festival Committee has sprung into action to spend $2000 received from the Town of Narrogin's Community Chest Grants.
The annual grant acquittal by the Town supports grassroots causes through a one- off grant, as decided by the council after an application process.
The Narrogin Spring Festival was given $2000 as well as in-kind support from the Town.
NSF secretary Loriann Bell said the committee was thrilled to be able to buy three new gazebos with the grant, which she said would help identify the committee to punters on the festival weekend.
"These are owned by the committee now, and will save the Spring Festival money in the long run, which means we can continue to run the festival," she said.
Town of Narrogin manager leisure and culture Susan Guy said she was glad to see the money put to good use.
"The Spring Festival is a valuable contributor to the community and the Town is proud to be able to support it," she said.
"The committee works hard at fundraising and applying for grants and (the Community Chest grant) complements the existing sources."
